In 1977, Leinaas and Myrheim [1]} presented the first clear prediction of quantum exchange statistics interpolating Bose and Fermi statistics in two space dimensions. They based their analysis on Schrödinger quantization of particle dynamics, using the topology of Feynman paths. They drew a connection with electromagnetism, noting the singularity in configuration-space associated with the coincidence points of particles. In 1978 Leinaas [2]} suggested a model based on charged-particle/monopole composites.
